1.	Keep a wet towel on your nose as most noxious gases are water soluble.
2.	Splash water on the body part that has burning sensation.
3.	Do not rush out into open spaces as the air outside is likely to be more polluted
4.	Keep to your room, preferably upper floors, as heavy gases settle at lower levels.
5.	Keep the window shut to prevent more gas from entering.

1. PREPERATION OF HPMP IN INDIA Ozone Cell Government of India Ministry of Environment and Forests
2. VIENNA CONVENTION AND MONTREAL PROTOCOL
   • The Vienna Convention for the protection of the Ozone Layer was signed in March 1985 .
   • The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed on 16 September 1987 .
   • India has Ratified all the Amendments to the Montreal Protocol
 
3. ACCELERATED PHASEOUT OF HCFCs
   • The 19th Meeting of Parties (MOP) held in Sept. 2007, in Montreal decided (Decision XIX/6) to advance the phase-out of production and consumption of HCFCs by 10 years for an early recovery of Ozone Layer
 
4. TIMELINE
   • Baseline : average of 2009 and 2010 production and consumption
   • Freeze : 2013
   • 10 % reduction of baseline in 2015
   • 35 % reduction of baseline in 2020
   • 67.5 % reduction of baseline in 2025
   • 100% phase-out in 2030
   HCFC PHASE-OUT SCHEDULE – Article 5 Parties Allowing for servicing an annual average of 2.5% during the period 2030-2040
 
5. OVERALL OBJECTIVES
   • Phase out Production and Consumption of HCFCs in accordance with Montreal Protocol phase-out schedule without any commercial and financial dislocations in the country
   • Achieving compliance target set by the Montreal Protocol for stage-I
   • - Establishment of base-line production and consumption sectors – an average of 2009 and 2010 for production and consumption respectively.
   • - 2013 freeze
   • - 10% reduction of baseline in 2015
   • Phase-out of production and consumption of HCFCs to achieve the Stage-II reduction targets: 2020, 2025 and total phase-out in 2030 with an allowance for servicing an annual average of 2.5% during the period 2030-2040.
 
6. BACKGROUND
   • HCFCs are widely used chemicals. The applications include, Refrigeration & Air-conditioning, Foam blowing, Aerosols and Firefighting
   • There are a number of chemicals which fall in this category like HCFC-22, HCFC-141b, HCHC-142b, HCFC-123, HCFC-225 and HCFC-124
   • All these chemicals are the Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and are controlled by the Montreal Protocol in the schedule Annex C Group 1 Substances
 
7. KEY CHALLENGES IN PHASING-OUT OF HCFCs
   • Period for Change-Over is Short especially for first stage reduction targets
   • Approximately 30 to 40% reduction of the base line consumption in few years (2013/2015)
   • Technical Options are still emerging, Available options may not be the long term Solutions
   • HFCs are the main options to HCFC for most of the applications in refrigeration and air-conditioning
   • HFCs are the potent Green House Gases (GHG) and Emissions of these gases are controlled under Kyoto Protocol
 
8. STRATEGY FOR MEETING CHALLENGES IN PHASING OUT HCFCs
   • Roadmap has been developed with a long term vision, initiatives and action plan
   • Policy instruments are being aligned to meet the needs of accelerated phase-out schedule of HCFCs
   • Strengthening of Institutional Set-up to cater the needs of HCFC phase-out is in progress
   • UNDP as Lead Agency in Association with UNEP,UNIDO, World Bank Govt. Germany (bilateral agency) is responsible for preparation of HPMP
   • Preparation of HPMP was approved at the 56th Ex-Com in Nov. 2008
   • The roadmap details are the part of agenda-Key feature are covered
 
9. POLICY SUPPORT INSTRUMENTS
   • ACTIONS:
   • Review of existing national policy instruments including ODS (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 & its amendments and align them to the needs of HCFC phase-out.
   • Strengthening of institutional setup in the Ozone Cell – PMU and SPPU
   • Review and strengthening of ODS control enforcement Measures and strengthening the Custom policies with regard to ODS to prevent illegal trade if any
   • Review of existing fiscal incentives to promote non-ODS technologies for smooth transition from HCFCs to non-ODS technologies
 
10. INITIATIVES AND ACTIONS FOR MEETING THE STAGE-I PHASE-OUT TARGETS
 
11. AWARENESS AMONG STAKEHOLDERS
    • ACTIONS:
    • Identification of Stakeholders
